I'll give it a try tomorrow and will let you know how it goes on my 7cG2...

I also played around with default.prop, though it needs testing first (dunno which features do actually apply to the 7c g2).

As of now I don't know whether a custom boot-logo is possible. Atleast there's neither splash1 nor splash2 to flash the image to.

i flashed it and rebooted, but / is not writable and su says permission denied.. what could i be doing wrong?

Hmm... I uploaded a new one, try again.

Dunno, here it works. Maybe differences in firmware? The backup uploaded in the forum and the stock firmware are not identical. Though I have a second device with stock firmware and it works here, too.

Edit:

Did you try with "adb root" before "adb shell"?

hi folks.

first post in this forum.

i've just got the 7c g2 for my wife and it seems a decent tab. its the root thats the issue as i want her to have gmail plus market.

i've tried rooting using superoneclik but no joy.

how - in plain simple steps (for a non programmer) would i install your image file?

ive noticed that if you go to about phone>system updates it boots into recovery

does this mean that this will take an update.zip? cos it's not registering the img file you've put together.

many thanks

chris

No, to be honest i havent tried using adb at all -- i am using a terminal emulator app that drops me to a shell on the device. I must say that i installed OI file manager and am indeed able to browse /sys /etc and so on, which i dont think i was able to before -- i just realized it this morning. I will try both adb and the updated image later.

What I need to do is to substitute the existing pptp vpn module with a custom one from xda so that i can use encrypted pptp tunnels.. the custom module i found is here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1087683 [as you may know, gingerbread pptp encryption support is broken]

any idea how i could substitute the module in the img file? Anyway, thanks for all your great work
